A hidden warehouse:

Location for the Pow Wow Hawaii 2012 Youth Painting Session

I had no idea what I was walking into too. Awed by the colors and creative interaction, I could not stop clicking away. A crazy space with so many different types of street art.

Since I can’t have VLounge Pizza

I have found a place that fills the void of V Lounge Pizza (a really dope Brick Oven pizza spot back in Hawaii).

Roberta’s in Brooklyn.

: Horrible pic but the doorway that chick is walking out of is it

They make fresh brick oven pizza and it is AMAZING. I ordered the Margherita Pizza and Bubba got The Specken Wolf (mozzarella, speck, oregano, onions, and mushrooms). We didn’t eat in because it is a 5 minute walk from our place so we didn’t mind. Only bad thing is walking in the cold will make your pizza cold, next time we are eating in for sure.

The first official meal with Pow Wow Hawaii team

After a chaotic first day for the Pow Wow team, it was time to feed the starving artists’. From Fresh Cafe, we walked over (roughly 30+ people) and literally took over the entire Duck Butt bar.

pupu’s and drinks…

Deep fried chicken with salt and pepper seasoning and daikon

Kim Chee pancake (A must try!)

I was always a fan of Duck Butt. Duck Butt is a Korean bar isolated from the rest of the world with some simple but amazing dishes. I highly recommend the Kim Chee pancake and deep fried chicken!

First wall up

This is the first wall up and more to come!

Rounding up the team: Pow Wow Hawaii

Amy — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 10:00:29 +0000

After rounding up the 30+ participants, we headed straight to Fresh Cafe / Loft In Space to do the Hawaiian blessing. This kicked off the start off Pow Wow Hawaii 2012. Today included the wall tours, Loft In Space set up and the designation of wall and paint cans.

Enough Fuckin Around

Christa — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 02:20:35 +0000

I can honestly say I have been slacking off on my art for a VERY LONG time now; and the fault is my mine because I have been lazy. Now more than ever I need to do what makes me happy. At the end of the day being able to draw, imagine, and create makes up the very essence of me. There has been a lot of shit going down in my personal life and art has been my release.

I’ve decided to try different mediums. I usually stick to pencil, pen, and ink but now I aspire to become a master in watercolor. It’s something about watercolor that brings me back to my childhood; that carefree attitude and feel of not giving a fuck I guess. Regardless watercolor is dope

For some reason I think I can just do whatever I want without practicing or sketching first (I’m an idiot). As an example, people ask me all the time

“How did you get so good with makeup?”

My answer is always PRACTICE. This is what I need to do and stick to it.

Here is a preview of the current pieces I have been working on… Hope you like it

i need to get my story straight…

after moving, i realized that there are so many old treasures hidden in my closet. i pulled this long black dress out and hung it near my computer to remind me to use it soon. today, i decided to wear it with some casual sandals and a oversize see-thru top.
